Surely for MythTV you wouldn't need a lot of writes to the same sector of flash memory? I personally would be recording once and probably watching many, many times before recording over that same sector of the flash drive. Though I do admit they need to be much bigger and faster to handle things such as recording while watching something else.
Yes you missed the bit where Intel produced the best mobile CPU yet, with low power requirements and decent performance over AMD offerings. I'll admit AMD are doing very well in the desktop market just now, but Intel has the laptop processor market for the moment.
There have even been tests where the Dothan CPUs were fitted into desktops and overclocked. They perform extremely well in comparison to any normal processor out there- and at lower wattages too.
Do you have an automatic gearbox? they're known for being vastly more inefficient than a manual one, for which that tip was originally given I think.
And I believe in my thermodynamics course there was something about slow changes being recoverable therefore more efficient, but applying that to a car engine at 2-3000 rpm is a bit silly...
Various things about the cold could cause premature failure- expansion/contraction of bearings and moving parts. Viscosity increases as temperature decreases causing the motor to work harder. Increased friction. But I personally can't see these affecting anything much, especially on such a small scale the changes are negligible...
Pound notes in the UK have not been produced for quite a while. The last bank to produce them was I believe the Royal Bank of Scotland and since a couple of years ago even they no longer produce them. The Pound note is becoming something of a rarity now, I haven't seen one in over two years (Scottish and proud).
CDs online used to be £6-8, but then an order came in causing the general price to raise by £2. So it is no longer so much cheaper to get the CD online...:(
Sucks to be in the UK just now:(
I thought the whole point of taking anti-rejection drugs was just to keep taking them until the doctors are sure your body will no longer reject the 'new part?'
Trackballs seem great when you first get them and all. Y'know, when they're clean. But after just 20-30 minutes of use they go back to being sticky. I got one to use with my laptop and I find it's alright for browsing the web but any kind of gaming sucks with it.
Noooo why did you have to let me know about this. I was quite happy in my ignorance. Now I'm gonna have to spend money.
And I see a 4th season too. AAAAAaaaaaaaahhhh!!!
I guess you've never had internal injuries. I've had both. Internal injuries are far far worse than broken bones- at least broken bones stop hurting after a couple weeks as opposed to a couple months for internal injuries...
This'll be the last April Fool's story then (12.59PM shown, please let it be true). Phew.
I wonder if the Mods have a posting limit or is it just not possible for them to post them more frequently than every 3 minutes or so...

It is actually available as 'abandonware' on home of the underdogs...
Wouldn't you want a diamond which is opaque to ultra-violet to use as a lense in your sunglasses?
The reason they have the UV protection on sunglasses is your pupils are wider with them on, and thus more UV light can get in to damage your sight.

Sheesh, I liked you better when you were promoting enlightened discussion... ;-)
It should be roughly similar, given that if we radiated less than the sun put in it would be getting uncomfortably warm around here just now.
I don't think the quantity of heat from the sources you've mentioned is significant though when compared to the source under our own feet...

I loved this when they showed it on ITV when I was a kid. I always wondered what happened to it after the second series...
What? There was nothing slim about them!
Never mind that one- What about the 118118 spoof of this commercial shown in the UK cinemas. It was the greatest.
I vote for exoskeleton too.
A prequel to Hawaii 5-0 surely? ;-)
They're all 'just a friar' until they become monks... /obscure film reference
Back to good old Slashdot after the April 1st fiasco. Smells fresh in here!
Umm, I meant 11.59, not 12. oops.

It says 'Don't fear the penguin' at the top.
An Apple a day keeps DocTim away...
I'll get me coat...
